Overview
Twelve days across Xinjiang's northern frontier. Urumqi to Koktokay's alpine lakes, Hemu's wooden villages, Kanas by boat, Burqin's coloured beaches, Sayram Lake, Yining's lavender fields, and Nalati's high grassland by cable car. Kazakh costume photo stop included.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Cable car up to Kanas Lake, then boat across the glacial water where it's so clear you see rock formations 10 meters down.
- Stay overnight in Hemu Village, where Tuvan wooden houses sit under snow peaks and the group wakes to horse bells at dawn.
- Ride the shuttle bus + cable car to Nalati's Sky Grassland, where Kazakh herders gallop past and the horizon is just green, no end in sight.
- Walk the boardwalk at Cocoa Sullivan Lake, the turquoise water ringed by Siberian larch that turn gold if you're there in September.
- Try on Kazakh traditional attire at Nalati (costumes and hats provided), the kind of photo your group will argue about posting for weeks.
